Rename files is checked with the string \"%Y_%m_%d_%h_%u_%s.%e\" and automatically append number to avoid duplicates is checked.

This causes all the files to be renamed to the date/time of the first image transfered + the appended number. Later, I can do advanced renaming in cam2pc with the same string and the filenames will be correct.

I have tried transferring files from both my camera and a folder on lmy machine to eliminate my camera as the problem.

Exactly the same problem happened to me. I am using a Kodak DX6490 and had never rename problems with my (registered) version of cam2pc. From version 4.5 it went wrong. I checked everything but found out it must be a fault in camp2pc itself. So I am using an older version (version 4.3) again without problems.

I have the same problem... was just about to go through all the settings in my camera (eos 1D, - a LOT of settings), - format my memory card or similar, - but lucky for me I ended up here before anything else :-)

My Eos 1D images does this, - rename all images as the timestamp of the first image in the batch, - just as described.... (and it has started recently, - like at the time when I upgraded.. :-( ) but my Fuji FinePix 3000 still works as usual, - taking the individual timestamp from each image... I'm running 4.5.1 now.

Could it be a 'default' setting in tools/settings/transfer that have changed ? (and Should it be Canon for a Canon camera ?, - somehow exif-related?)..

Anyway, - I'm very glad to hear that it's probably Cam2PC and not my camera or EXIF data... (much more easy to solve :-) ) I just can't find any old versions of Cam2pc, - just to check it.... Is it possible to download old versions ?

just tried to download some pictures using "%Y-%m-%d-%h%u%s.%{ext}" as a rename mask and all pictures get renamed differently as expected. Can you please give me more information on your exact download settings?

I am not sure why the final filename says \"26\" seconds or where that number comes from. In fact, all files seem to be renamed as 4 seconds before what the EXIF tag says. This gets corrected if I run advanced renaming on them manually.

This worked for me on earlier versions, before 4.5.1

I hope those are all the download settings you need. if not let me know :)

Hi all, - have been avay a couple of days... does anyone still need more examples of images that get's renamed wrongly ? I concur the problem described by Nico and Ivarknut, - that's what I've got, - and my workaround was to find a 4.4.5 version (thanx Nico :-) ) and that works.

"I did notice one thing recently, I tried cam2pc out with some pictures from another camera and it seems like the EXIF information is different. Under "Camera tags" he has a field called "DateTime" which I don't have. I only have the field "DateTimeOriginal" under EXIF tags."

Good news for everyone, the bug seems fixed. From the samples sent by ivarknut the bug seems to come from the fact that his camera names his pictures 100_xxxx.jpg. cam2pc wrongly believed that 100_xxxx and 100_yyyy were related files because it calculated the sequence number of these images as being 100. I did not have the bug because my camera names pictures IMG_xxxx and in that case cam2pc rightly skipped the IMG_. I changed the routine that calculates sequence number to handle both cases.

So far for the details, can you all confirm that your camera names pictures starting with some number like this? As soon as I have enough confirmation I'll release 4.5.2 that fixes this.
